1993 Calibra 16v —
In 2002 I bought my Calibra, it was the exact car my dad had from new between 1993-1996. It was a white 16v red top with black leather interior.
7 years and 7 owners later it had 120,000 miles on the clock, tatty interior, some faulty electrics and chavvy alloys.
I spent a year trying to restore it to it's former glory, but with a cracked cylinder head, and knackered everything, it was too much money and time. Shame as I was obessed with it as a teenager.
Ratings as new:
Performance - Quick acceleration 60 in just over 7, brakes and grip good, but no sports car
Build quality: Good for it's time, solid and no cheap plastics.
Apperance: One of the best looking cars ever made, roofline-tail is sublime.
Cost of ownership: Company car, but 35MPG was frequent, so pretty good
Fun factor: Not thrilling to drive, but as teenager passenger, it was the mutts nuts to be in.

Calibra 2.0 16v —
i love how the car handles with it being lowered by 60mm it feels like its on rails. its a good sturdy car with no rattles. The styling outside cant be faulted as shes beautiful plus the interior is nice all black leather. She costs alot to run but all the maintenance is done by my boyfriend so this works out to be quite cheap. I can honestly say i have never had as much fun as ive had since owning this car. SHES AWESOME.

Decent Car, But Better Engine Models Available. By Jason

2.0 16v ECO TEC.
I'm not a fan of this engine at all. If given the choice I would much rather have the 2.5 V6, but for £500 this was a bargain.
Apparently it will do 0-60 in about 8 seconds. I doubt...

Vauxhall Calibra 1994 16v BlackBy Gary

Performance - Nothing really exciting from the 16v ecotec engine that is currently in it at the moment. This is to be replaced soon by either a Red Top C20XE or the Turbo C20LET.
